We’re back with a new posts containing information about PLD members who shared their knowledge with attendees at the ATA 56th Annual Conference this year. Today we’d like to share the slides used by Paulo Camargo during his session: “Post-Editing: How to Future-Proof Your Career in Translation.”
Abstract:
Recent developments in machine translation (MT) systems are driving a revolution in the translation industry, much like translation memory (TM) did two decades ago. Combining MT and post-editing (PEMT) can now deliver the quality, productivity gain, and price reduction demanded by the market. This session will identify best practices and skills required for post-editing, as well as available sources for training and certification. It will also explore other possibilities for using MT output, such as a starting point for translation to increase productivity or the replacement of combined TMs. The speaker will discuss how small LSPs can involve in-house translators in MTPE activities to quickly get started in this area.
